beccaelizabethI went to Norwich and took two bags of books. Sold for £5. Turned it into a 12 inch Subway veggie pattie with lettuce and peppers and onion.
... as economics, not so great, but, I sold books! I have whole feet more shelf space than I used to! And I gave some books to Oxfam. I'd tried to sell them 4 places by then, only it turned out they were in fact 2 places with 2 different shops, so that didn't work so very good. But it did prove my strategy thus far of where to sell books was correct. None of the others buy that sort of thing.
Then I went to the TV & Movie store and bought 3 Doctor Who books and 2 audios. :-)
... the circle of books, it do keep turning...
After that we went to the street I'm thinking of moving to and dropped notes through letterboxes because the contact details on the website weren't resulting in contact. Only as it turns out this is because one flat long since swapped and the nice old lady lives there now, and another flat I'm not sure of but he said he's been shut out of his email and that's why he's nto replied. Seemed interested in moving to Dereham though. Cool. So then there was only one flat not contacted and my employee put the note through their letterbox.
It's a lot of work, this finding houses thing.
And the more work it is, the less sure I am it's an actual good idea.
So after that we went back to Dereham and sat in the library in case anyone turned up for the writers group we're trying to start, which they didn't, which wasn't a surprise. But I read a Doctor Who Quick Read. And on the way home bought a Subway sandwich. So that worked out.
Useful day :-)
(Anyone want to buy some books? I has many. I decided if I haven't so much as moved them for a decade I don't technically need to own them.)
